{5/5} “For now let’s move on to President Trump, the silver lining for anyone who died in 2015.”

Last Week Tonight season 4, aired in 2017

John Oliver continues to bring us stories we need to hear, in a funny-yet-serious way:

Tibetan sovereignty and human rights

gerrymandering

net neutrality

vaccines

local news

nuclear waste

presidential pardon of Joe Arpaio

corporate consolidation

forensic evidence

Equifax security breach

He also continues to talk about the shocking presidency of Donald Trump, as the quotation above suggests. In the season finale he says the biggest problems with President Trump for the future of US politics and society are:

delegitimizing the media

whataboutism

trolling

and he explains why you should be concerned about each. As Oliver says, “Their natural endpoint is the erosion of our ability to decide what’s important, have an honest debate, and hold one another accountable.”
